ROM-DOS Internal Commands 4-47

M E N U D E F A U L T

CONFIG.SYS Command

The MENUDEFAULT command allows you to set the default menu-item
choice and a time-out value for making a menu selection. This command
can only be used within a menu configuration block in the CONFIG.SYS
file.

Syntax

MENUDEFAULT = blockname[,timeout]

Remarks

The

blockname argument specifies the default menu item. The value for

blockname must match a configuration block name defined elsewhere in
your CONFIG.SYS file.

The optional time-out argument represents the number of seconds ROM-
DOS waits for a user input selection before initializing your system with
the default configuration. The time-out period can be set to a value
between 0 and 90. If you select 0, the default menu item is automatically
implemented without a wait. If you do not enter a time-out value, ROM-
DOS will not continue until the Enter key is pressed.

If your system BIOS does not support a video display directly, such as
Datalight’s miniBIOS, please refer to the MENUCOLOR command for
special instructions.

Example
